Wonderful excursion to Delphi and Meteora! - The trip was wonderful! Really interesting, informative, yet relaxed and fun. We learned so much about Greek history, mythology, and culture. And the views and vistas were breathtaking!

Amazing Delphi and incredible Meteora. - Visiting the incredible ancient site of Delphi, spending time in quaint but beautiful town of Delphi, staying in the impressively appointed Amalia Hotel and then visiting the truly amazing monasteries of Meteora. A thoroughly enjoyable, educational experience with friendly bus travellers and well versed, knowledgeable, articulate tour guides. Thank you

Very well organized and coordinated tour to 2 wonderful destinations! - Both destinations are worthwhile! This was conducted by CHAT tours. We were sent a message via the app with a more specific pickup time at our hotel on day 1. There were people picked up for multiple tours but then we were transferred to the bus that would take us to our tour. They organized and coordinated everything very well. The hotels in Delphi and Kalambaka (near Meteora) were Amalia Hotels and nice to stay. Breakfast and Dinner were provided for 2 days and both buffet style. The guides we had (Joy and Dimitra) were excellent and very knowledgeable and kept us well informed.

Long trip but incredible sights. - Pros - Great knowledgeable and informative guides - Rose in Delphi and Yiota for Meteora. The bus drivers were very good also. The places we saw were fantastic - archeological site of Delphi, Delphi Museum, the scenery, Thermopylae, Meteora and entrance to two of the monasteries in Meteora. The bus rides were always broken up in segments of 2 hours or less so we had a fair amount of stops. Neutral - the Amalia Hotels were not necessarily great but had a pool, a bar, lots of lounging areas, etc. The rooms were clean but dated. The food at the restaurant/buffet was just ok - not great. However, we noted that these hotels seem to be where ALL the tour groups went. If you join any bus tour (with any company), this is where you go. The Amalia Hotel in Meteora was just a bit nicer than the one in Delphi. Cons - The way this tour works, after the visit to the archeological site and museum of Delphi, you have free time from around 2pm on Day 1 to 1:30pm on Day 2. It’s basically a full day in the small town of Delphi. It’s just too much time unless you’re happy to lounge at the pool most of the day. The hotel is also at the edge of town and it takes a few minutes walk up/down hills to get to the center of town. It would have been nice to have a shuttle or another activity or some other option of things to do during this free time. On Day 2, after being free the whole morning, you are picked up to go to Meteora at 1:30 pm. Unfortunately, we weren’t told that the first stop would be a 1hr lunch at a taverna. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time but our guides changed in Delphi so we don’t know who should have told us. Maybe it should be in the itinerary listed for the trip. The trip to Meteora was through the mountains and while very scenic, it was long and with so many switchbacks, some got motion sickness. So, be sure to bring medicine. One of the best things to do in Meteora is to see the sunset. However, this trip gets there around 7pm with the included buffet dinner around 8pm. Sunset was around 8:40pm for us so you won’t see the sunset unless you make your own independent arrangements and perhaps skip the included buffet dinner. The day 3 schedule is tight and you have to be up and on the bus early so perhaps it’s why viewing the sunset late the night prior isn’t included. The pool also closes at 8pm so not much chance to enjoy that either. All in all, a trip worth doing to see these wonderful places.

Not worthwhile . 2nd day is a complete waste of your time - The 3 days 2 nights trip is a waste of money and times. Will advice people to do a day trip to Delhi and then anor trip to Meteora. The understanding was you will be in the same group with same tour guide but no. You join the delphi day trip then they drop you at hotel in delphi at 2:30 pm. There was just me and an American couple doing this trip. Free and easy and delphi is a pretty small town but enjoyable. Next day join another tour group with anor guide. The whole 2nd day is wasted as you are just heading to town next to Meteora and reach there like 6pm. Designated dinner time so you have no flexibility. Worse thing hotel is like 7 km from town and you need to hire a taxi to town for euro 12 one way. 2nd day was a complete waste of a day !

Consider a day trip - We had very mixed feelings about this trip. The monestaries were beautiful and absolutely worth the trip/drive. However our first guide for the Delphi portion was not very pleasant and provided a stilted incomplete history. We also skipped a stop due to poor time management. We loved the relaxing 24 hour stop in the Amalia hotel in Delphi - but primarily because we were a week + into our trip. It might feel like a waste of time if you don't want to relax. Our second guide was wonderful and the bus drivers were quite professional. The food was VERY disappointing because the dinner/breakfast you pay for is buffet which is fine but then we stopped for lunch the last two days at places the tour picked and had to pay for restaurants we didn't want to eat at. The lunches were poor quality and overpriced.

Very disappointing triple - Very bad trip, spent most time on the bus The hotel they put you in in Metrora is more like a 2 star hostel - smelly and disgusting. Not much to see in Delphi. Overrated trip not worth your time and money

Do NOT pay extra for the first class hotel! - I paid for an upgrade for first class hotel but I found out that everyone is going to same hotel and there is no upgrade for hotel or rooms. I asked for partial refund for the difference but they're not doing anything. In addition, there is almost no activities on the 2nd day while we were in Delphi, wasted a lot of our time.
